The Cause of the Rapid Rise of

1ne cause OF the fsapeu fSlSc OF
the Plumbing Firm of p. v.
Dyyer 81 Bro.
Nothing is rs valuable to health and
happiness as perfect plumbing in an ed
iiice, whether for public or private use.
Realizing this fact to its fullest extent,
the builders of this monument to Jour-
naliSm could not have selected better
men for their purpose than those com
posing the firm of Z. V. Dwyer 81 Bro,
whose handsome place of business is
situated on Third street and known to
everyone. These gentlemen have been
associated in business for the last four
years and their trade has grown larger
and more extensive as the years have
passed, until now they do the largest
business in their line of any firm in the
city. All the plumbing and gas fitting
for the new building of the GLOBE was
done by them, and some idea can be
gathered of the VaStneSS of the work
when it may be stated that sixty closets
were required for the eleven floors of
the building. The statistical editor
might calculate the number of miles of
pipe required for the gas and water ser
vice, the number of tons of lead and
brass, ETC., etc. but space prevents so
minute description, suffice it to say,
that the whole work was done on Scien-
tiiic principles, which insure perfect
protection. Out of their, large stock.
which is most complete and varied, they
have furnished all the gas fixtures for
the hundreds of offices contained in the
building, from the simple bracket to the
elaborate chandelier. Every piece of
brass and bronze work is in keeping and
amply displays the good taste of these
gentlemen. 49,.
The fame of this firm is not local by
any means, their business extends all
over the Northwest, nor do they c0nfine
themselves to contracts on large edifceS
having had entire charge, of the plumb
ing and gas fitting Of such. buildings as.
the Hotel Ryan, the Wilder block or the
Yellowstone Park hotel. The finest
private houses in the city have been
giyeli'Over to their charge for sanitary
plumbing and perfect gas fitting. Among
them may be mentioned the handsome
residence of our worthy mayor, Robert
A. Smith, on Summit avenue, and the
palatial house of Mr.. Bell, of the bank
ing firm of Bell & EySter, of Duluth, this
being considered by cOnnoisseurS the
haffdSoiheSt home outside Of the Twin
Cities, the architect being o. &. Trapp-
hagen. - p"
4Aovisit to the show rooms of this firm
will convince the most Skeptical that
procured. They are agents for the
Justly celebrated house of Mitchell,
Vance Co., of Broadway, New York,
who manufacture the gas brackets,
chandeliers, hall lights, drop lights and
bronze and brass ornaments Of only the
chOiceSt workmanship. So finely fin
iShed are these goods, that other makers
caBpOt compare with them, their spec
iality being the richness of the coloringS
of the different metals used. Among
theineYeltieS shown by polite and affa--
bieSalrsmen, are chandeliers of two,
three, fDur or more lights in antique
brass and polished old brass. A very
striking and artistic design in chande-
lier was noticed. 1t was particularly
beautiful, being composed of a combin-
silver, polished steel, statuary bronze
and dark red copper predOminating.
Leaving these beautiful and necessarily
costly works of art You are shown goods
of handsome design and honest work
manShip, which arc better fitted to suit
the contents of the everyday pocket
book. Here may be obtained very pretty
chandeliers at surprisingly low cost, for
this firm caters to the interest of every
class of buyers, hence their popularity.

elaborate mansion is furnished from the

order with promptness and dispatch,
guaranteeing their work and giving
their many, patrons their full mon
ey'S worth. Their business has in
creased to such vast extent in the
Northwest that they found it expedient
to found branch house at Duluth,
where their customers can benefit by
cheap water freights, thus avoiding that
bugbear agitating the public at present,
